[QUOTE="Drillman, post: 7921587, member: 403"] It’s the sheer arrogance of red tractor that surprises me, Arrogance towards the very people who pay them an awful lot of money annually. If red tractor had any respect at all for farmers or British agriculture they would have sat down a long time ago with truly independent people such as [USER=6]@Clive[/USER] and [USER=23184]@Grass And Grain[/USER] and got this whole mess sorted out. As is they have made no effort at all to communicate with the paying farmer members, Its gone further than that as the tractor hasnt even make any attempt to talk to AHDB about how they could offer the farmer better value for money so lost £250,000 of there marketing budget. So now all we’re left with is a private company who demand money from us before we can have market access. And at the same time they complain that they lost there marketing budget. it’s a scam it’s a con it’s a disgrace! What red tractor also seem to not realise is there are getting less farmers on a yearly basis as the trend is for farms to get bigger, store livestock there is no point been assured as it doesn’t do anything, pretty much the same for fat cattle/lamb through livestock markets. red tractor has already lost all those customers. More will follow. Long term there income levels wil drop and the value of been assured with rt will get weaker As for me, well we’re currently still assured for beef and cereals, but the inspector is in for a hard time if there’s any nonsense at our next visit, and will be told to sex and leave if there is any mission creep or pointless costly add ons. There’s no place for something that isn’t financially viable and the cereal job is on a Knife edge already, and our beef operation as it’s currently run, rt is just another parasite drawing off us with no return. red tractor could have fixed this but unfortunately they were far more interested in gravy than humble pie and will now suffer as a result.
